Understanding the Security of Payment Act
The Building Industry Fairness (Security of Payment) Act 2017 represents a pivotal legal framework in Australia’s construction sector. It guarantees the right to progress payments for those engaged in construction work or supplying building materials. This Act not only facilitates a quicker and more cost-effective resolution of payment disputes but also plays a crucial role in safeguarding against insolvencies within the building and construction industry. By granting builders and suppliers clear legal entitlements to progress payments, it mandates principals to either fulfil these payments or provide a detailed payment schedule.
